In her own words

Here’s a few tidbits about me to give you some flavor…
- I still call NorCal home, even though I just moved back after 18 years away. Excited to be back, although I will miss my most recent home: NYC
- Love to cook and entertain--hosting a dinner or cocktail party is where you can find me in one of my many happy places.
- Living in SoCal for so long, I sadly got away from hitting the slopes, however thankful that it gave me the opportunity to surf, sail and work on my tan for so many years before making the eastward trek (stopping by to live in the PNW briefly along the journey).
- Brunch is always a good idea!
- I've got that travel bug that everyone on here seems to have.
- I recently found out that Uber drivers rate the passengers. I gave my driver a "high five" when he told me he was going to give me a five. The 20-somethings on my team nearly died laughing when I admitted my story to them...
-I wake up every morning to lead a team and drive results. I feel lucky to be so passionate about what I do. In my downtime, I can be found exploring, traveling, hanging with family/friends or sometimes it's about just lounging around catching up on DVR at the end of busy week. In a nutshell, I'm game for most anything...
- I enjoy (hopefully you do too) thoughtful, provoking conversations--Preferably at a sidewalk cafe with a lovely glass of vino.
- Giving back is key--whether volunteering, attending a charity event or simply helping an elderly person cross the street...it all counts!
- I believe a good, solid laugh is an essential part of every single day. Preferably not one, but many.
- Sometimes I think about officially changing my favorite snack from pretzels to zucchini. It was originally zucchini but my kindergarten teacher sadly convinced me to not put a vegetable on the bulletin board. I'm seriously contemplating making the switch...
- Balance (at least the "quest for" is important to me; I'm admittedly a work in progress, but really, aren't we all?
- I'm a sucker for a dumb joke (my nephews have reached "epic" status when it comes to this category!)
- Friends and family are my cornerstones, they make it all worthwhile!
…best of luck with your search!

I like Dogs

Would like to have a dog one day again when I have more space and time.

Political views

Middle of the Road

Favorite hot spots

NYC, Italy, San Diego, small/quaint towns, out-of-the way locals' restaurants, my patio and a cup of joe on a weekend morning, an ocean view. Ultimately though, it's about who I'm with, not where I'm at...

College

University of San Diego, San Diego, CA

Favorite things

A good rain storm. Hugs. People watching (especially at the airport). Blind Pilot. Family heirlooms. Hot sauce. Sushi. Rare daytime naps. A contagious smile. The first snow.

For fun

Exploring new territory. A good debate. A great book. Vino with friends. Aimless walking. Dinner parties. Remote control microphones for when that perfect cheesy 80's song comes on.
